Hello,

I wonder if some of you have ever try to run a Julia app on a small hardware (ARM device) with a small Linux OS.

I don’t need GUI, just console app. But one important point is fast boot time.

I know that Julia can run on Raspberry Pi for example with Raspbian but I’m looking for a much quicker boot time (less than 10 seconds ideally around 5 seconds).

Any suggestion ?

Kind regards

PS : I don’t expect to run Julia on microcontroller like [How to start programing microcontroller in Julia ? is any package? - #3 by programista](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-start-programing-microcontroller-in-julia-is-any-package/3688/3) was asking for but not on a regular PC also, just something between the two
